CUSPIDOR.

Application filed October 6, 1914.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES H. LANE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dallas, in the county of Polk and State of Oregon, have invented certain new and use ful Improvements in Guspidors, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to cuspidors and more particularly to a cuspidor which is provided with means for disinfecting or destroying the germs or contagious matter each time the cuspidor is used.

An object of the invention is to provide the cuspidor with removable sanitary receptacles which are intended to be destroyed after having once been used.

Another object of the invention is to provide a cuspidor of this character which is intended for public or private use, and. one,

so constructed that it can be placed on the streets for convenient use.

A. further object of the invention is to provide a cuspidor in which a disinfectant or antiseptic is adapted to, be stored, and a small quantity of such deposited in the receptacle by means of a small pump and leyer each time the cuspidor is used.

With these and other objects in view the invention consists in the novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and claimed.

Figure l is a side elevation of the cuspidor constructed in accordance with the invention; Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section; Fig. 3 is a transverse section; and Fig. I is a detail View of one of the sanitary receptacles.

Referring to the drawings by numerals, 1 designates a casing which is preferably secured to a wall, and 2 the cover therefor. The cover is mounted to swing on a rod 3 which extends transversely of the casing and carries on its outer end a gear segment 4. A rack bar 5 is slidably mounted in guides 6, carried on one side of the casing, and is adapted to mesh with the gear segment 4-. Means in the form of a transverse rod is provided for supporting the supplemental gear a which rod is mounted in the Specification of Letters Patent.

said casing, the part thereof carrying said gear extending beyond the side thereof as shown in Fig. 1.

A lever 7 is pivoted to the casing as at 8 and is connected with the lower end of the rack bar 5 as at 9. A link 10 is carried by the lever 7 and is connected with the pump rod 11 of a pump 12. A pipe 13 is connected with the pump and has one end thereof prolecting into a container 14, formed by partitioning the casing 1 at 15.

A cup-shaped receptacle 16 is removably seated in the casing, and is adapted to receive a sanitary paper receptacle 17 which may be removed and another inserted when one becomes filled. A pipe 18 is connected with the container 1% and has one end thereof projecting over the cup-shaped receptacle 16.

A cap 19 has threaded engagement with an opening in the top of the casing to facilitate the filling of the container with an antiseptic or disinfectant. V

When the cuspidor is to be used the lever 7 is depressed, causing the lid toraise and at the same time creating a pressure within the container through the medium of the pump 12. The spittle or other matter isdeposited in the receptacle 17 and a small quantity of the disinfectant is simultaneously forced through. the pipe 18 by the pressure created by the pump, into the re ceptacle, thus rendering the receptacle clean and sanitary at each operation.

From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, it is thought that the construction and operation of the device will be clearly understood, and while I have shown and described one specific form of my invention I do not wish to be limited thereto except for such limitations as the claims may import.
